This Is How It Starts...

02/21/2017 at 6:00pm EST

It's one of my favorite movie lines. From "Training Day". Denzel Washington, noticing a particularly subtle but aggregious maneuver from a street tough, mutters "that's how it starts."

After a weekend that featured two startling wins over "the best teams in the East", we're seeing all sorts of blissful commentary from the Wings.

In an article that I can't find but that you've read Mike Green said the Wings are playing great hockey. Ken Holland's PR girl, Helene St. James pointed to a definite "swagger". Ryan Martin said he's massaging cap space because he's a cap space massager and he sees big things at the deadline. Big. Things. Actually, there was no mention of cap space or Martin or whether Martin actually still works for the Wings as part of Tick Tock's "team of advisors."

Nice weekend. Uplifting. A little joy for you in the midst of the manure cake we've been fed all year.

The Wings are 8 points and 7 teams behind the last Wild Card spot and have 23 games to play. If they win 18 of those games they're in, by my math.

Easy peasy lemon motherfriggingsqueezy.

It's a Live Blog you optimistic, myopic, syncophantastic bitches.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
